Well certainly not C, keywords can't contain punctuation characters.

Scintilla, the editing component used by Geany, appears to have an
abaqus lexer, but it isn't included in the subset Geany provides by
default.

You will have to get the Lexer from the Scite/Scintilla project and
compile it in to Geany.  Instructions are in the hacking file.
